Families will be an important feature in Alganon for those that wish to join groups above and beyond their guilds. A major theme players look for in a game is flexibility. This is a key feature that gives players another option for grouping with each other.

 

Being a part of a family in Alganon is a great way to join with players that share similar interests. For example, power gamers can be in the same family and casual gamers can be in their own family. You can switch families for a fee or by completing a certain quest, but only between families for a given race. A Kodian cannot join a Human family, for example. While family names will be displayed by default upon entering the game, you will have the option to turn them off.

 

Each race has five different families, and each family represents a different “theme” that attracts gamers of a specific category. Instantly communicate with your new family, protect your siblings, and establish your family’s name in the history books.

 

1. Achiever – Players focused on building their character, collecting things
2. Competitor – Players who focus on competition
3. Explorer – Players who prefer to explore the game
4. Socializer – Those who prefer social interaction foremost
5. Crafter – Those who prefer to gather, build and sell items

 

Major cities will have Family merchants that sell merchandise just to specific family members. These items are called heirlooms and only affect the player visually. Wedding dresses, tabbards, and even smoking peter pan caps, all types of fun stuff will be available. Different families will have different colors and themes. There are also heirloom pets, such as kittens, frogs, etc. All of these options are based on race and family type.

 

Every family has its own chat channel that all family members can freely participate in. This channel is automatically “made active” when you log into the game. You will be able to disable/remove the channel, but can rejoin it at any time. You can only join their own family’s channel. MyAlganon will have a Family section that lists all the families in the game (for each race) and the members of each family, when they joined, their heirloom status, etc.

 

You can also create guilds and accomplish tasks to be etched in the Great Library’s history books.

The Gracia Final expansion includes several benefits for Clans in Lineage II.  The clan level cap has been raised to eleven, and provides several key bonuses for clans who can achieve this feat.  Additionally, clans who meet the prerequisites can now control their own airships and can have direct access to the Gracia continent.

 

Clan leaders who own a castle have the ability to expand ownership to an entire territory. Through territory ownership, clans now have the ability to raise their level to eleven. Some of the benefits afforded to those attain this accomplishment include an increase in clan members, strengthening of the Royal Guard, and earning valuable clan skills. 

 

But if leveling your clan is not enough, Gracia Final has also introduced the Rim Pailaka Rune dungeon. For castle and fortress owning clans, this new instant zone will offer a new and exclusive area to explore and master, making residence ownership even more vital to your clan’s success.

 

Another exciting feature in Gracia Final is the addition of clan airships. Clans above level five will have the ability to obtain their own airship. No longer will you have to wait for those public transportation airships to ferry you around Gracia. Take command of your own vessel and pilot an airship so you and others can explore the skies of the Gracia continent!

 

From a new clan level cap with unique features, to taking the helm of a clan airship to explore Gracia first hand, the Gracia Final expansion offers its players a memorable Lineage II experience that will enhance their game play and enjoyment.

In the vast universe across Galaxy Online hide innumerous huge objects that constantly emit blue rays of light. They are the Blue Giants. Until now they have remained peaceful observers of the chaos engulfing the universe. “An old star containing much energy, reconstructed by some means” – The definition of the Blue Giant has given rise to much speculation. Now all the Galaxy Online players will be witnessing an important transformation of Blue Giant to Star Fortress. This change will create more uncertainty to the battle results, and surely make the game more entertaining.

 

Blue Giants are in fact secret fortresses that look peaceful and quiet on the outside. After a series of intense research, these blue planets can be converted into Star Fortresses that are able to dock friendly fleets and keep them invisible. When hostile fleets intrude into the galaxy, the hidden fleets will appear and attack invading enemies automatically. When the battle ends, all fleets will go back into hiding. To activate Blue Giants requires a great deal of Science points, but their defensive value should never be disregarded. These giant, blue guardians of the galaxy will change the course of the battle within seconds.
